Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.
Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Wells Branch
Dryer vent cleaning in Wells Branch typically costs $150 – $280 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs take 60 to 90 minutes from arrival to final airflow test. If your dryer is taking two cycles to dry a load, or the laundry room feels noticeably hotter than the rest of the house, the vent run is likely obstructed.
We’ve been sending crews to Wells Branch from our Austin dispatch office since Hollis Air Duct Cleaning opened in 2004. We know the area’s slab-built homes, the long horizontal flex runs through attics, and the way live-oak pollen and leaf litter cement exterior hood flaps shut every spring. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team serves the full Wells Branch area, from homes off Wells Branch Parkway to the neighborhoods near McNeil Road and the MoPac corridor.

Dryer Vent Inspection in Wells Branch
Dryer Vent Inspection in Wells Branch is where we start every job, because the real problem is rarely visible from the laundry room. Our technician feeds a borescope camera through the full length of the vent run to document crushed flex, disconnected joints, lint accumulation depth, and exterior hood condition. In Wells Branch’s 1980s – 2000s slab homes, the dryer vent often runs 15 to 25 feet horizontally through the attic or under the slab before reaching a sidewall or roof cap, so what looks like a simple cleaning job can reveal structural damage that needs addressing first.
A typical Dryer Vent Inspection in Wells Branch runs $89 – $149. If you proceed with the cleaning, we usually apply the inspection fee toward the full service.
Camera Documentation
We record the full interior condition of your vent run and show you the footage before we quote any additional work. In Wells Branch, we regularly find sagged foil ducts holding lint that the blower motor can’t push past, or a hood flap glued shut by oak pollen and leaf litter. You’ll see exactly what we see.
Airflow and Back-Pressure Testing
After cleaning, we measure airflow at the exterior hood and compare it to manufacturer specifications for your dryer model. If the numbers don’t match, we keep troubleshooting until we find the restriction.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wells Branch
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wells Branch covers laundromats, apartment complexes, HOA laundry rooms, and any multifamily building with shared or high-use dryer systems. These installations see far more cycles than residential units, and the lint load accumulates faster than most property managers expect. We clean the full vent run from appliance connection to exterior termination, document with before-and-after camera footage, and provide a written report for your maintenance records. A typical commercial dryer vent cleaning in Wells Branch runs $200 – $450 per unit for standard runs, with multifamily package pricing available for buildings with four or more units.
High-Cycle Lint Management
Commercial dryers in Wells Branch laundromats often run 10 to 15 cycles daily. That volume packs lint into long horizontal runs faster than residential use, and the heat buildup increases fire risk proportionally. We schedule these cleanings during off-hours to avoid disrupting your business.
Code Compliance Documentation
Many Wells Branch multifamily properties need documented vent maintenance for insurance or HOA requirements. We provide written certification of cleaning date, technician name, airflow readings, and any repairs recommended or completed.
Trusted Brands We Service in Wells Branch
We stock parts and use equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies on every Wells Branch job. Rotobrush rotary brush systems break up compacted lint without damaging duct walls. Nikro negative-air machines pull loosened debris out under controlled suction with HEPA filtration, so nothing escapes into your attic or living space. For properties needing filtration upgrades, we carry Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman products. Because we dispatch from Austin, replacement caps, hoods, and rigid aluminum sections are usually available same-day for Wells Branch customers. No waiting on shipped parts, no return trips.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Wells Branch Homes
- Crushed flex behind the laundry wall. On Wells Branch’s slab homes, the dryer vent often turns immediately into a flex run through the attic. We’ve found sections crushed by HVAC contractors stepping through during attic flex-duct replacements, or compressed by storage items in tight utility closets. The dryer still runs, but lint collects at the pinch point until airflow drops to dangerous levels.
- Oak-pollen-seized exterior hood flaps. Wells Branch’s mature live oaks blanket the neighborhood with catkins and pollen each spring. That debris mixes with lint and humidity to form a hard seal on the hood flap, so even a clean interior vent can’t exhaust properly. The dryer overheats and the thermal fuse trips.
- Sagged foil duct holding lint in the attic span. Long horizontal runs in Wells Branch’s two-story homes often sag between joists where supports have failed. Lint settles in the belly of the sag and stays there, layer after layer, until the duct is half-blocked. A standard trap-and-first-feet cleaning never reaches it.
- Disconnected joints leaking lint into the attic. The original foil tape on 1980s and 1990s installations has often dried and failed. We find joints separated by several inches, blowing warm moist air and lint directly into attic insulation. That’s a mold risk and a fire risk, and it explains why some Wells Branch homeowners smell musty laundry odors upstairs.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wells Branch
The blockage is usually not fresh lint from your laundry. In Wells Branch, we find aged lint felted with oak pollen and leaf litter that has accumulated over years in a long horizontal attic run, or a hood flap sealed shut by spring debris. Even light dryer use can’t push past a complete obstruction. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll camera the run to show you exactly what’s in there.
Most Wells Branch homes need dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 18 months. Homes with long attic runs, multiple pets, or heavy spring pollen exposure may need it annually. If your dryer takes more than one cycle to dry a standard load, you’re already past due. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Yes. Our camera inspection shows crushed spans, disconnected joints, and kinked flex that often result from contractors working in tight Wells Branch attics. We documented exactly this on a two-story slab home off Wells Branch Parkway: a crushed flex section behind the laundry wall where an HVAC contractor had stepped on it during an attic flex-duct replacement, plus a hood flap glued shut by oak pollen and lint. We cut out the crushed span, reconnected it with rigid aluminum, removed the impacted lint by source removal under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, and confirmed the whole lint pathway with the camera before we left. If you’ve had HVAC work done recently and your dryer’s performance changed afterward, call (361) 326-5060.
We clean the full vent run from appliance connection to exterior termination, using rotary brush systems and negative-air extraction with HEPA filtration. For Wells Branch laundromats, we schedule during off-hours and provide written documentation for insurance or HOA compliance. Package pricing is available for multifamily buildings with four or more units. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your building’s layout and usage.
No. Your dryer’s vent system is separate from your HVAC ductwork. However, in Wells Branch’s slab homes with attic flex ducts, we often find that the same contractors and the same attic conditions have affected both systems. While we’re cleaning your dryer vent, we’ll note any visible HVAC duct issues and report them to you. Many homeowners choose to schedule both services together. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss bundling options.
